Looking at the daily report on BBC ,is making me think the reporters have not got anything useful to say. For instance will it end?. Will there be an extension to the lock down?. Perhaps the government have got a crystal ball some where. To me it will end when the fat lady sings. On my own patch have been working most of the time painting anything that does not move and the grass shall not be over 35.5mm , and the weeds will not show their face .Tomorrow my Wife will be 84 born on Good Friday 1936, me born on Good Friday 1933. Being indoors is no big thing, she has not been out since end of Feb, me 2nd March.
I'm in that part of the world and there are plenty of organisations in leicester helping the needy it's just a case of making contact the
If you don't mind me asking who is the manufacturer of the hand sanitiser,Avoid Covid 19 and self immolate?

I received a letter today informing me that as an 'extremely vulnerable person' I shouldn't go out or do shopping.
Now they tell me!
Due to the impossibility of getting supermarket delivery slots I've had no choice other than to go out to buy groceries whilst observing social separation as best as I could since the start of the lockdown.
If you receive a similar letter for your wife Prof, go to the website and complete the registration.
If no such letter arrives contact your MP
It's imperative that you receive support to avoid further risk.
Steve, surely Tipton have volunteers to help? I’m amazed that different parts of the Country are so dissimilar in a time of crisis. My brother tells me there are volunteer groups like mine and Mel’s in Marple Bridge. Is this a subject the local MP should be resolving now. We are all British👍👍👍
Prof
As fir Sainsbury’s my reading of the availability of slots is that if you get a delivery one then it’s not possible to book another until the initial delivery has been made. Then you are looking at a window 5-6 days ahead and slots seem to be released around 8 am. Click and Collect seems to be being targeted at the non Vulnerable or elderly.

Tipton and the surrounding areas does have volunteers who are willing to help Dusty.
I didn't regard myself as being amongst the vulnerable, I'm not ill but Herself is over 70 so we've been careful.
My sons offered to shop for us but I didn't want them to take unnecessary risks.
Apparently our local council are allocating volunteers and our newly elected MP has been very active in helping those in need, which is why I suggested to the Prof that if all else fails he could try his MP.
Prof, have you tried to give your local Age UK a ring they are bound to have people on there list remember 750,000 volunteers came forward and I'm sure Age UK would of grabbed a few to do the very thing you need help with,
My wife, who has COPD, registered last Monday, yesterday she received a letter from Milton keynes council telling her she had been recognised as vulnerable. Then a phone call, asking details, then an Email from Tesco saying she was now on their list for priority deliveries, just after I had been shopping. Then a food basket arrived from MK support line. Free of charge, but stating if we could afford to make a donation to do so.
Hurt my hands clapping at 8 pm yesterday evening.

I've replied to your private message with further details Camel , I'm not here to publicly shame you or to play to the gallery with my response here.
Just been informed that there’s a distillery on our storage site who have now started to make 70% hand sanitiser for sale initially to storage customers in the vulnerable category. It’s a whole new world out there as we didn’t even know about the distillery.
Prof, I do not know if it works in your area but our local Coop has started taking orders for deliveries. You have to pay £3 as they use an independent van driver, but it cuts out the delays.
If you are on Facebook, there is usually a local group where you can get help, and also find details of local small shops who will deliver. That does help these shops survive, so is also good for the community, although they may be more expensive.
Do try and keep safe though whatever you do.

I’ve been to Tesco and Lidl today. Got everything I needed including very cheap handwash.
Do you guys think250 ml moisturising anti bacterial hand gel at £ 15.99 is a good deal? An advert in yesterday’s Daily Telegraph says I can have ten250 ml bottles for £155.88. Is this a good deal and should I buy?

I paid £9.99 for 500mil of handwash sanitiser 99.9% alcobol, your price is the most expensiveI have seen,
I thought there was a HMG quango to stamp out profiteering. This is an advert in a major U.K. newspaper!
Neither seem a particularly good deal. It will be like panic buying of food, once the supply chain reacts and ups deliveries people calm down.
The distillery on our storage site are selling 700 ml for £18 to the users of the site.
I bought 500 ml from EBay for £18 and our local carpet/ domestic cleaning company gave out 250 ml bottles of sanitizer fluid, not gel.
To be honest we haven’t used much at all as the highlight of the last month was a walk to the pharmacy and a trip to the vets plus walks and dog walks. Cars go out for a 2x10 minute circuit at two weekly intervals. Other than that it’s delivery, delivery, 🚚
Most advice says surgical spirit (sanitiser) kills the virus in seconds, bleach takes longer. But obviously few are going to clean work surfaces and handles etc with sanitiser. Soap is excellent at home for hands and even handles but sanitiser plus wipes are most use if you are out and about.

COVID-19 has only been around for a few months, so at this point scientists don't know that much about it.

One nanometre? One of my spaniels has just caught one that must have mutated. The good news being that it’s now far too large to get down your nose and throat, and can easily be vacuumed up.

I can't help wondering if the President has tried out the slightly stronger option and gone for lavatory cleaner.Just don’t listen to Trump and try ingesting or injecting it.
What a chump.

You know the one - clean round the bend!
A comparison on size of the virus is that if the virus is the size of a pound coin the human cells it enters are the size of a jumbo jet. A famous scientist, can’t remember who, described a virus as a load of trouble wrapped in a very small coat.
